Richini Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Good evening, Planning our bathroom refit and would appreciate any advice people may have for accessible plumbing options with a double ended bath. Bath will be against a wall on 2 sides, with bath panels on 2 other sides. Initial thoughts are to have the bath overflow facing the wall and fitting a grohe talentofill overflow, waste filler tap so we could pull the bath panel off and have access to the tap easily. Ideally I would like to add a shower head and thermostatic mixer to this setup and looking for any advice on how this can be achieved / mounted whilst still making everything easily accessible when things start going wrong. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richini Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Markc, thanks for the comment. This would make a nice clean aesthetic, how can it be wall mounted whilst also making the tap mixer accessible when things start go wrong to replace etc? We currently have a bath tap that's so boxed in we have to dismantle the whole bathroom to be able to access for a replacement and really hoping to avoid this scenario going forward.

Omnibuswoman Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 We also plan to have a double ended bath with central filler/waste, and I’ve been mulling this question myself - how to access for repair or replacement. We will have a separate shower cubicle. I will be sitting the filler/waste on the side opposite the wall, for access. For an over-bath shower, I don’t know your layout but could you build a freestanding low level false wall at one end of the bath with an access panel on the back, and attach a thermostatic mixer shower to the face of it?

Richini Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Omnibuswoman. Thanks for your reply. Have you spec'd the overflow filler tap yet? Was keen on the grohe talentofill, but then noticed it has to run through a separate shower diverter, which doesn't really fit with what we're trying to achieve.

Omnibuswoman Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 No, it is on my list of things to look at, but I haven’t actually got to it as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originaltwist Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Sorry - pressing all the wrong buttons. Anyway that was a long double ender with a tiled surround. The taps were set for easy access and fed the spout placed so the water flow would be by ones knees so no scalding feet etc.. Can't say I liked it though - very difficult to get out.
